Chapter 54: Teach you something real(2/2)
While Mr. Song was talking, he took out a paper figurine from his pocket. The appearance and style of the paper figurine were almost exactly the same as the one the master took out in front of the grave.
He held the paper figure on his fingertips and muttered a few raps in his mouth. Xu Tong stood aside and listened clearly. Isn't this the same formula for finding a grave and asking for directions that his master taught him?
But if you listen carefully, there is something slightly different. Unfortunately, the old man read it too quickly and he didn't understand it. He saw the old man throw the paper man on the ground, and the paper man knelt down and bowed.
"This is called a paper arch table."
As he spoke, Mr. Song lit the three sticks of yellow incense he had just taken out and inserted them into the arms of the paper man.
Then he took out a stack of paper money with square holes and asked Xu Tong to sprinkle it around first.
It is strange to say that when the paper money was sprinkled, Xu Tong immediately noticed that the faint musty smell around him dispersed.
"The spirit resides in the body, just like a burning candle of fire... There is no candle, and fire cannot travel alone in the void. Therefore, death is like a lamp extinguished, and all thoughts are turned to ashes."
Mr. Song turned around and saw that Xu Tong was confused and didn't understand what he meant, so he said: "When you go home, go to the second row of the bedside table on the left side of my room. There is a copy of "New Theory: Xingshen Chapter" written by Huan Tan of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
It’s okay, take a good look at it, I’ve made annotations in it, if you don’t understand, just ask.”
Looking at Mr. Song's serious expression, Xu Tong nodded repeatedly and said to himself: "As expected of my master, I can't avoid studying."
While the two were talking, the three sticks of yellow incense had burned to the end. The yellow incense stained the paper figurines on the ground, and lit them up with a loud bang.
It was at this time that Xu Tong discovered that the old man lying on the rocking chair had a stream of black blood starting to flow from his nose.
